[@officiallydenise]

I believe that if a woman’s life really is at stake she should have the right to have an abortion at a hospital. Other than that I don’t believe abortions should be the go-to for child prevention. So many powerful dark twisted people use aborted fetuses blood for their own sinister motives. Why would we want to keep feeding these demons who live among us? We should be starving them. Furthermore women should get their tubes tied until they are absolutely SURE that they are READY to begin having a child. And we shouldn’t even allow people to just have children randomly. They should prove that they are ready and capable and take several courses and read books beforehand. We make people take courses to become a foster parent but we let the rest of humanity have children with no proof that they’re ready? Why? 90% of them are about to traumatize that child. I firmly believe young women should get their tubes tied before they become sexually active. The reversal procedure has been done effectively for the last two decades but in case it failed, invitro should be provided and covered by the state. Also tummy tucks should be covered by the state after child birth. So basically I don’t think abortions should be illegal but I do think they should only be done in an emergency where the mothers life is threatened. Otherwise tube-tying should be the normal contraceptive method for young women. I think we might have less people in the world if we did this but we’d have happier people.

My mother was born in 1920... the first year women could legally vote. But even by the time she was old enough it wasn't easy to vote. When she and her sister went to vote her father told them he would disown them if they did... and it was frowned on by many of the neighbors. If you tried to open a bank account the manager often wanted the ok from your father or husband. Not only were you paid less than half of a man's salary... If you got pregnant... or sometimes even just got married your boss could and often WOULD fire you as you were seen as less productive. If a woman married a non-citizen they lost their American citizenship.... but if a man married a non-citizen he kept his. If you got a credit card or even a passport it said your husband's name. Women were often denied their own separate passport and had to travel under their husbands.

I am a staunch believer that if one does not safeguard their rights, those rights will be taken.

There really is no need to debate that aspect because there is no logical “start” to life other than conception at this point and it is indeed a life.

[@jonathansports1036]

What really takes the cake for me about what Alito said is that the Constitution doesn't explicitly protect abortion as a right of the people. As a Supreme Court justice, he should know that that's what the ninth amendment is for. The ninth amendment says, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Basically, it means "do not take the outlining of rights in the Constitution too literally, your rights don't have to be spelled out word for word." Just because something is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, that doesn't mean that it can't be protected.

[@Aeroldoth3]

Not once have I heard the 9th mentioned in videos over this.

They'd know research indicates that socioeconomic inequality in the United States is likely a primary contributor to its higher mother & infant mortality rate. Perhaps raising these numbers is their goal. As someone who works with children to overcome trauma, I unfortunately can speak to how what an 11 year old forced to carry to term & birth an infant will plausibly endure -- medical dangers & mentally traumatic. I'm beyond grateful to live in a state that I do, where our governor has already signed legislation keeping abortion legal. My fear is the state will get overwhelmed with out-of-state patients. My hope is providers move here to ensure services are available in a timely manner. I wish someone would propose a bill requiring vasectomies at puberty, or until the boy/man can prove their ability to support & raise a child rather than continue to blame girls & women forever as if they impregnate themselves. Not that it'd be appropriate, just to prove how ludacris people believing they're entitled to make decisions regarding a complete strangers autonomy is. As you stated, their using religion when we're entitled to freedom of religion is another violation of rights.

Exactly right.

Wait until November, the insincere Dems are gonna get slaughtered at the ballot.

No. It's scary because a woman's right to her own body is an important matter all on It's own.

I worked as an RN in the ER in 1980 in a county where abortion was not legal. We sent a woman of all ages to surgery for a hysterectomy every week that did their own abortion. And yes the state paid for most of these surgeries. Overturning Roe vs Wade will not stop abortions.

Oh, wow, imagine that. Someone "lied" to Susan Collins and she made the wrong decision. All those with bridges in their pockets ought to hit her up to see if she'll buy one.

If I had a billion dollars I could safely say that there would be no risk of Roe being overturned. If you know what I mean.

Why the f*** does the supreme Court deserve the right to decide things privately... They work for the people... They represent the people... Every single thing they think do or whatever on behalf of the people should be live streamed... Why do they deserve privacy when discussing things that are related to the American public... I'm so confused...

[@xiomaragomez6649]

Great point.

[@meghanarora4136]

Not even American but it's honestly disgusting the way women are being denied basic human right.

[@starsaint]

I think it's time to rethink the extent of the supreme court's powers.
